Darius Simmons was reportedly unarmed when Spooner allegedly shot
him on the street outside their homes.

The two were neighbors.

Police are investigating whether Spooner and Simmons had a
history of disagreements, noting that Spooner believed Simmons
stole his shotguns.

After Simmons and his mother told Spooner they didn't have his
property, Spooner pulled out a gun and shot Simmons from about
five feet away, the AP reported.

Spooner then reportedly fired a second shot at Simmons as he was
running away.

"I looked out the door and saw the mother kneeling over boy at
the curb, screaming, 'my son!' and the old guy was standing right
over there by the stop sign with his dog, just waiting," neighbor
Toni Johnson told the AP.
